I can confirm this is true.

I can confirm this is true.

Patch notes says "Made deployed enemy equipment detectable with the active scanner", but anyone already able to detec them 100m away with passive scanner (and we can see them in map mode on entire map) that doesn't looks like it's working as intended. Is enemy equipment will be more stealthy (harder to detect, invisible in map mode) in 1.4?

Btw poke Wang, i promoted him to be responsible for 1.4 ninja nerf\buff notes, we still don't have them :D

You mean these notes?

"results of active scanners are still shared with squads"
Will results of active scanners be shared with team members if i am not in squads and use active scanner ?

If you "sweep" in the second or 2 while scanning, does it cover the whole area? For instance the 5 second one if i were to spin 360 deg, will it have scanned all 360 or have a "pulse effect" and miss increments?

From my use of the scanner, everything tagged in the Scan Pulse range is lit up for the full amount of time. So spinning is the best way to find your targets.

I'd also like to know this. Unless I put my uplinks in very hard-to-reach places, they almost always get destroyed long before they're spent. It's way too easy to find enemy deployables in the current build.

I can confirm this. I think this will be the preferred way to use them. However I don't think they 'fully activate' until the V animation is fully spread. It seems to have a bit of a delay until the scanning starts, so if you plan on sweeping less than the 100% of the area around you, then you'd want to start a bit to the side of where you plan to mainly scan so that the delay won't cause you to miss part of the target area while you spin around.

Also, especially for the more narrow scanners. You should realize that the scanner scans in a cone shape. Initially I realized I was thinking that I was mentally thinking of it more in a kind of 'pie slice' shape. This means that something could be above you and 'within scan range' but not inside the cone. The scanner will not indicate the presence of these things because it wasn't within the cone.

In other words, If you could draw what your scanned area looks like after spinning 360 degrees, it would be a cylinder, but with a very flat cone shape extruded from the top and bottom. Only a scanner that would scan 180 degrees or more could spin only horizontally AND scan a complete sphere around himself.

In my experience, "sweeping" with a scanner will result in red-dots blipping temporarily on HUD and TacNet. The blips decay after a very short duration. To answer your question, I have not observed missed increments from spinning too fast.

So sweeping is a decent way to check surroundings, but you won't maximize target visibility duration unless you must paint red-dots for the duration of the scan.

It's a good practice to sweep and locate a red-pile, wait for recycle, then paint that red-pile for a full scan duration. Give it a try if you aren't following; you'll see what I mean.

Hope this helps,

It does cover the whole area. Not totally happy with that...

This promotes squad play rather than no one squading or the whole team taking advantage of the lone guy who's near the red dots.

Jets Confirmed for 1.4

I can confirm this is true.
